Pokemon placed on the top of the gym

Cascarrafa Gym is the fourth Gym we'd recommend taking on as part of the Victory Road pathway and the ninth mission in what we'd consider the optimal path for this walkthrough. This Water-type Gym can be found in Cascarrafa, just past West Province (Area One). Below, we've included information on how to get there, how to prepare for the Gym Test, details on the Gym Leader, and more.

How to Find the Cascarrafa Gym (Water)

You'll want to fly to the Pokemon Center in West Province (Area One) after defeating the Lurking Steel Titan. This will be by the Team Star Dark Crew Base. With Giacomo defeated, you're now free to travel on the unblocked path toward Cascarrafa.

Follow this path northeast, until you reach the Pokemon Trainer on the right-hand side and you can see the Pokemon Center in front.

When you arrive in Cascarrafa, make your way to the south side of the town. You'll need to find the elevator that sits against the wall, to be taken up to where the Water Gym is.

As you approach, the Gym Leader Kofu will run out of the gym and the person behind the desk will run out after him. It turns out Kofu is in a hurry to collect something from Porto Marinada, and has left his wallet behind. The receptionist from the Gym will give you Kofu's Wallet, telling you that if you return it to him, she'll consider that a pass for the Gym Test.

Head to Porto Marinada

Leave Cascaraffa from the north entrance, heading straight for the Asado Desert.

Go west in the Asado Desert, until you reach Porto Marinada. You'll know where you're close by, as you'll see the Pokemon Center and Kofu near where the path splits.

A cutscene will play and he'll dash off in the direction of Porto Marinada, exclaiming that he needs to get to the market. Follow him towards the town, then head to the center to find the market.

In Porto Marinada

When you've reached Porto Marinada, you can find Kofu in the center. He'll release his wallet is missing, but before you get a chance to tell him you have it, the trainer working with him will challenge you to a battle.

Use Grass-type Pokemon against Hugo's team and the attacks will prove super effective. Kofu will approach after the fight and you'll be able to return his wallet to him.

However, as Kofu has come for a special item, you'll have to help him get hold of it to have a chance to battle him.

How to Pass the Gym Test - Win the Auction

Passing the Gym Test for Cascaraffa means winning the auction. The easiest way to pass is to bid small amounts and only increase these by 5,000 each time. Eventually, the others will give up and allow you to take the ingredients.

To challenge Kofu, you'll have to go back to Cascaraffa. You can fly back here, then go to the south to take the elevator to the top and up to the gym.

Grass-type attacks will work just as well here against Kofu's Water-type Pokemon.

Beating Gym Leader Kofu gives you TM022 Chilling Water and makes catching Lv. 40 Pokemon easier. They'll also listen to you, making them easier to control in battle.

You can only enter this gym once you have gotten HM 01 - Cut from the S. S. Anne. If you've got it, you need to teach this skill to one of your Pokémon, then walk up to the small tree next to the gym. Press Start and select the Pokémon option. Now pick the Pokémon you taught Cut from the list and select Cut. Voila, the passage is now open. Go through and enter the gym to fight Lt. Surge and his crew. To open the door that leads to Lt. Surge, you need to hit two hidden switches located in the buckets in this room. The switch locations are random, so all you can do is search all the buckets until you find the first switch, then look for the second one right next to it. If you mess up, you need to start over.

The trainers in this gym all use Electric types, so be sure to bring your best Ground or Ground/Rock types along. Think Diglett, Geodude, Sandshrew or their evolutions. The easiest way to take out all the -mites, -orbs or -chus in this stage is to use your Dig technique over and over.

Once you defeat Lt. Surge, you receive the Thunder Badge and TM 24 - Thunderbolt. You can either teach it to one of your Electric types (unless they learn Thunderbolt on their own later), or keep it for some of your other Pokémon. Having a non-Electric Pokémon with Thunderbolt can be very beneficial when competing in Pokémon Stadium
